Sparking the Fire

Another fun, drama filled story of the Dempsey family of Engine Co. 6! This is a great family and I've enjoyed their stories so much. Always a sexy hot read, with lots of family depth and humor thrown in! Scandalized Hollywood actress Molly Cade needs her latest film to go off without a hitch to earn back some respect for her tainted career! She wants every aspect of her action flick to be precise, so she is working with the best firehouse around to make it happen. Sexy loner Wyatt Fox needs something to keep him busy while he recovers from his latest hot-headed recovery stunt at the firehouse, so his Lieutenant sets him up to be the expert consultant on the movie set of an upcoming movie. He's trying to get out of it until he realizes it's a Cade Productions film. Molly Cade and he once burned up the sheets in a week long anonymous fling, so he can't pass up the chance to see her again!

This is the third book in Ms. Meader's firefighters series and the eclectic group of siblings called the Dempseys. It is centered around Chicago Fire Station #6 where the Dempsey's are a big part of the fighting force, including Alex, the only sister who has made quite a name for herself as an advocate for women's rights in the workplace. Wyatt Fox one of the foster brother's is on three months of rehab leave after shredding his shoulder tendons in a rescue. He is offered the opportunity to be a liaison for a film company making a movie about firefighters. He is not excited at first, but when he hears the name of the producer/actress, Molly Cade he is all in. Five years ago he and Molly had a one night stand that lasted a week. A lot has changed, but he has never forgotten. Molly Cade was a rising star in Hollywood, until her former husband( also an actor) threw her to the wolves. Paparazzi, internet photos and a dead in the water career now haunt her. She is producing and starring in this firefighter movie she hopes can be patterned after Alex Dempsey's colorful career, but meets stone walls all along the way from the family. When she meets the liaison, Wyatt, she is excited, embarrassed and a teeny bit hopeful she might get to meet Alex, not to mention the sizzling attraction that still smolders between them. She never thought she would see him again after their hot encounter, but here he stands. "Fox. Wyatt Fox. License to thrill-and send your panties plummeting." This very entertaining novel can be read as a stand alone, but I highly recommend reading the first two books in the series to better understand the unusual dynamics of the Dempsey family. This book is sexy, funny and I couldn't put it down. I received this ARC from the publisher and NetGalley for an honest review. Pat Fordyce

LOVED! This! Book! I'm so sad to see this series end but I must say Ms. Meader saved the best for last. Wyatt Fox is a sexy former marine working for the Chicago FD. As a member of the misfit Dempsey clan what else would he do?? He's a man of few words but with looks like that who needs words? While recovering from a recent injury he finds himself as a consultant on the movie set of Molly Cade. A woman he never thought he'd see again after their one night filled with passion. That one night wasn't enough for him so maybe the heavens have put her back in his life for a reason. Will Molly agree? For someone who really doesn't enjoy the limelight could he survive in her world? Could she give up the lights of Hollywood?? You definitely want to read this one and find out. Put this one on the must read list! I highly recommend it.

Smokin hot! There is just something about a man in uniform. Not only is Wyatt a firefighter but he's also a former marine. (You learn in the book not to say ex-marine) To top off his sexy career choices, he was also the silent broody type. That's a total win for me! Another total win for me is Kate Meader. This is the second book I've read of hers and I'm a big fan of her writing! She managed to not only make this story scorching hot between Wyatt and Molly, but she also had a great message about family. Not all of the Dempsey's are blood related but you can't find a closer bond. I absolutely loved the family dynamic! ARC provided by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I have enjoyed reading this series from Kate. This story is another good read for us. Kate does a good job of developing her characters to get you falling into the story. I will say that this book is a mature read for those under 18. Wyatt is in a family of fosters to save them and they lose Sean, their father, and their brother Logan. They are firefighters. Wyatt meets Molly, an actress, producer to make a movie of the family. Her ex, tried to ruin her work. Major Spoiler! Toni is 15 and has beat Cancer but never met her true father Logan. Major Spoiler! Please make sure you have lots of tissues beside you. This was a story you can't put down. But on the other hand you have to just walk away for awhile. I liked this story line that started with a different beginning. I hope you will take time to read this book. You won't be sorry if you do. Enjoy this read! I have this book for an honest review for NetGalley.

Where to start...there is so much to say about this gem that it's difficult to know where to begin. This is the first book by Ms Meader I've read, and WOW!! have I been missing out. This Hot in Chicago series is exactly that, hot, and one I now feel the need to read from the beginning. Wyatt and Molly's story is one fantastic grab you by the heart ride from beginning to absolute end. I can't say if I've encountered a more "real" character then that of Wyatt Fox...and the way the author has crafted him is the dream of any female who is currently alive and breathing. Don't get me wrong, Molly is amazing in her own right, but Wyatt just takes my breath completely away. The author is a genius with bona fide witty and clever banter that'll bring tears of laughter, smart dialogue and characters who'll stay with you long after the last page is read. The Dempsey clan is one ginormous group of love and acceptance that anyone would be so lucky to have in real life. Since this story is the last in the series, the tie up of all the characters, and including them in such depth was a stoke of an excellent author who knows her audience and their wants. This book was provided by the Publisher and Netgalley for my honest review.
